The reasons for this will become apparent in the next day or so.  I
needed to extend the interface to allow me to handle some aspects of
the veriexec per page code where it is not safe to perform a
VOP_GETATTR() call.  It also allows me to reuse the fileassoc code to
handle a requirement for another hash table instead of rolling my own.

I will post up some diffs for the updated veriexec per page code in
the next day or so which should make the reasons clearer.
